planning[edit]
how can all these things find a place in the hackerspace, what new infrastructure has to be built ?
after the previous TechTue95 meetup we came up some basic ideas & sketches -- these will be further presented (on each TechTue we'll do a quick update.
front room[edit]
- on the left side: the electronics desks & hardware area -- the mill will move towards the corner (not next to the window where it is now, but in the corner sided with two walls)
- above the desks we'll build a stockage area : we build metal frames and fix them into the wall (done - 2-3 of june)
- the area on the right will be populated with tables -- to be easily (re)movable / projection screen (hanging from ceiling) and whiteboards against the wall.
middle room[edit]
- the shelves on the left (containing junk & books ftm) will be emptied - we have to find a suitable container to orderly arrange & label the stuff we want to keep (cardboard boxes, from ikea, or boitutil.be, or alike)
- the shelf mounted in the corner on the right can be used as (member-box) storage / long term storage
- administrative desk/network stays where it is now (mezzanine, left)
- on the mezzanine, right side we build a shelve for books against the wall and install some small couches to become library + television (homecomputer(s) / gameconsole etc)
- build a bunk bed where the black seater is now ? just some wooden platforms where ppl can sleep (if they take camping matress & sleepingbag)
kitchen room[edit]
- fridge /bar as it is now
- long term: gas boiler for heating + stove to cook some
toilet[edit]
- electricity box moves there
- datenklo for eventual servers /long term projects
